Thanks for your input.
I appreciate you taking the time to respond.

The patent date is July 11, 1911
Lyman didn't update the patent for the subsequent variations?

Also - the elevation dial is graduated in 1/2 grads, not quarters or thirds. The elevation knob counts five MOA, and it's detent is via plunger and spring, not spring steel washer. The windage scale is on the rear of the slide not the front.

Do you have any of the early Pacific catalogs?
When did Pacific start to offer the sight hood (and appropriate mounting provision for it) for the banded front sight ramp?

Again, thanks for your comments.
